It bothered me as well, even knowing much more about Scott Galloway and what his mission has been, but there is a better way to achieve his goal of pulling young men from the grips of this toxic masculinity movement then by pulling them to the “heroic” side of the coin but within the same misogynistic structure that allowed for the rise of the “your body, my choice” mentality in the first place.

What he offers is a brand of misogyny that allows men to feel like the hero in their own action movie, instead of the villain.

Logically, I can see why he thinks this will work but maintaining rigid gender roles and stereotypes will inevitably end us right back in incelville because young men and women will never learn how to break out of that stringent way of thinking about their lives and the various roles they will choose to take on over the course of their lifetimes. Politicians will continue you exploit gender differences to swing the pendulum back and forth. Either way, we all remain squarely and controllably in our lanes regardless.

In other words:

I see what you’re doing there my man, I applaud your efforts to deconstruct these young men but (cringe), you’re not giving them an off-ramp, just a more palatable flavor of male ego stroking ideology. 😣

I love your stuff, Dani, it always gets me thinking, pulling stuff apart, and looking at all the different angles.
